Genuine question: how are the club losing out?No I object to the fact it’s ok for the u18s but not for the women’s. Sounds rather sexist from the club and lacking in equality.
I think the club are losing out on Not allowing them to rightly play at SJP.

Hypothetically, if we made it to the top tier of women's football - fully professional with full internationals in our side - would you be interested in supporting Exeter City then?Nothing. I have no interest and no desire to want to find out more. I'm only interested in watching the men's first team.
Because this has for the most part been a thread about the women's team. It's just the off-season giving people nothing else to discuss on that front so it goes off-topic.I see that the Exeter Woman's thread has been closed. Why not rename this thread as Woman's football and move it from WOWS.
How do you define popular? Given the BBC's obsession with gender equality in sports broadcasting I would have expected the Women's Super League to be packing them in. The evidence shows that on the whole its still pretty much family and friends watching. In FA WSL 1, the average attendance was 1,128 – up five per cent on 2015 (1,076). A new league record for home ground attendance was set in September when 4,096 supporters watched Manchester City secure the title against Chelsea at the Academy Stadium. Now if a measly 4,000 can be bothered to watch a title winning game it hardly smacks of some kind of football equality does it? When I hear women footballers using the equality card in saying they should be paid the same as men I say fair enough. When you start equalling the attendances of the Premier League you will have EARNT it. In WSL League 2 the average was a whopping 443. Like Mr Moxey I have no interest in women's football, Women's Rugby or Women's cricket. The games are just too slow and pedestrian.Yes women’s football is getting very popular so I suggest you keep your tv & radio switched off in case it upsets you.
When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.How do you define popular? Given the BBC's obsession with gender equality in sports broadcasting [...]
It always used be that this baseless assertion was made because Exeweb was supposedly full of unjustified negativity and constant digs at the club and Trust. You know, things like...You are a great example why so many fans avoid Exeweb
We keep investing money into things we don’t own.
...what a joke the club is with dealing with people wanting to offer help.
So explain how Torquay get NIKE kits, are they a bigger club than us, Argyle get Puma but we are not in a position to change, something is messed up.
I don’t think the trust can take us any further.
The trust have no ambition to move us forward
At least we've moved on from that...I think the club needs to be put up for sale as the trust cannot take it to an higher level.
Thanks Andy, that’s exactly the point I was trying to get at.Do you actually know just how much it costs to stage a game at SJP, before even one fans sets foot inside the ground?
I can tell you that it's considerably more than we would receive from the admissions money with the current level of crowds for an ECFC Women's game. I some times go to the games when they are played at Cullompton, and if there are 50 in the crowd that would be being generous, friends and family excepted.
No. I’ve already told you, I have no interest in women’s football.Hypothetically, if we made it to the top tier of women's football - fully professional with full internationals in our side - would you be interested in supporting Exeter City.
Little doubt in my mind that if our women's team played home matches at SJP they would attract considerably more fans than playing at Cullompton, though at present unlikely to be a 'break-even' amount.Do you actually know just how much it costs to stage a game at SJP, before even one fans sets foot inside the ground?
